title: Kinetic properties of two transaminases and lactate dehydrogenase of Biomphalaria alexandrina snails, intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni.
abstract: Aspartate (AST) and alanine (ALT) aminotransferase together with lactate dehydrogenase (LD) from the tissue homogenate of the Biomphalaria alexandrina snails, were partially characterized by measuring the Michaelis constant (km) and the maximum velocity (Vmax). The isoenzymatic pattern of lactate dehydrogenase was investigated through polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
